I raise you one pumpkin dragon
It doesn't matter how many you make; you'll never stop Spider-Man, Hobgoblin!
They look great. Couldn't you have just done a filament switch for the stems though?
Maybe but it looks like the highest point of the pumpkin flesh is higher than the lowest point of the stem so it wouldn't look as good. This way is much less waste and faster because you can print all the stems at once.
Yes, exactly. The bottom of the stem is lower than the top of the pumpkin.
Plus I don't like filament switching.
It looks like the pumpkin body curves over and then down to the stem, so it would be a lot of filament swaps.
I've been experimenting with that sort of thing. I've been experimenting with a slicer and g-code hacks to do inlays and other simple multi-color prints with just one swap per color. It looks like at least some printers could manage OP's print OK. One of my tests was a jack-o-lantern.
